Chapter 10, Problem 10.68P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It is to be explained why the E2 mechanism does not occur readily under the given condition.

Concept introduction:

Epoxide is a three membered ring involving an oxygen and two carbon atoms. The ring is highly strained. The small ring size forces the groups on the adjacent atoms to be 1200 away, that is, the dihedral angle between the oxygen atom and the hydrogen atom of the adjacent carbon is 1200. For the E2 elimination reactions to occur, the leaving groups and hydrogen atom of the adjacent carbon atom must be anticoplanar, which means the dihedral angle between them must be 1800. Due to this, epoxides do not readily undergo E2 reactions.
